Examples
-
I’ve never had PMS but back in the days when a period meant vomition, diarrhoea and cramps so bad I did well to stand, I would have grabbed birth control pills without placebos with joy if they’d been available *at all* where I lived and the only consideration I would have given to anyone telling me that it’s unnatural would have been not to assault them.
-
a long time would sour and cause nausea or vomition to those who would receive it; neither could it be readily taken to the sick without danger of spilling.
The Confutatio Pontificia Johann Michael Reu 1906
